Greg Bretall This album is easily my favorite album I've started listening to in the last year. The diversity in the songs and the catchy yet complex quality of the music really made me an instant Observer Drift fan. Favorite track: Machine.

Machine 06:02
lyrics: Swim so fast but sink so low you think too long and you never know. Take your leave. You've done enough, the time was yours but now its up. Hopelessly, lay your head and start to dream Rapidly, close your eyes so you can dream. You cant take what isn't yours. If you give it back, you'll be restored. Machines replaced all these trees. We still recall what couldn't be. Hopelessly, lay your head and start to dream Rapidly, close your eyes so you can dream

Make a list of all your friends. Then close your eyes and walk away from me. Im gonna ask you this just one time. Just one time Did you write me down? Did you write me down? It doesn't matter how many we have. What matters is how much they care. What matters is how much they care. Did you write me down? (repeated)

Azimuth 04:43
Thrown to the streets of a town you love. You cant stand on your feet. Trying so hard just to stay alive. Your heart pumps to this drum beat. You are the only one I see. And that can only mean that you and I are one. You are the only hope for me and that can only mean that you and I are one. If you just give me some time. I could be the one you find. If you just give me some time... If you just give me some time. I could be the one you find. You are the only one I see. And that can only mean that you and I are one. You are the only hope for me and that can only mean that you and I are one.

Riptide 04:57
I cant keep up with this. I need to take a trip. I need some peace of mind, but then its you I find. I never planned for this, so now im feelin' it. So now im feelin' it You Hit me like a riptide pull me away from shore. Im in a different place now strange enough I see the sounds everything looks black and white and yet full of color at the same time You Hit me like a riptide pull me away from shore. Alternate ending (Our Plan) Keep to our plan and don't look back.

Fjords 05:16
Rain is falling hard it'll turn to snow tonight. Just like your pretty face when time begins to dim the light. Turn around and I wont even look the same but you'll know its me when I begin to sing your name, oh no. Walk with me down this uninviting road Walk along the timeless banks of this fjord Let it pass beneath our feat and let it sting As you and I sit down and reminisce about nothing We can live tonight We can give tonight

Marina 03:21
Skip a stone and watch it sink. Don't try to move just sit and think. Take the jump. You're on the brink Don't try to breathe, just hold it in. Open your eyes to see What you could really be Wont you try to break free? Or are these walls too steep? Don't hold back from letting go of All the stones you always hold They weigh you down and make you cold please let them go yes, let them go Open your eyes to see What you could really be Wont you try to break free? OR are these walls to steep?

Lingonberry 03:13
Keeping up with you is like trying to outrun a sunset Like two old friends who have never ever met Like we're on the same page but just not the same book like a shooting star, but we never ever looked We always run our feet undone on paths that seem to never meet keeping up with you is like running circles in the dark like im feeling something, but nothing in my heart and its killing me inside but who knows maybe its right We always run our feet undone on paths that seem to never meet
8.
I watched your heart turn to gold I watched your fire turn to coals You grew so tall Now watch me fall You don't have to leave to get somewhere You don't have to be a stranger anywhere You can finally learn to love without fear we can make a home with what we have right here.

Mirror Image 05:22
Talking at the mirror Im falling down a well and I cant even tell what I know to myself So I broke it into pieces with every single reason Cause I just cant seem to find a reflection that is mine. and I just cant seem to find A reflection that is mine
10.
Binary Love 03:57
Sometimes we don't take enough Sometimes we take too much we take too much time to say what we need to say to the ones we love all of this time I didn't know I didn't know what to do so when the time came I made up my mind to take nothing and just go sometimes you just have to wait unitl everything settles down sometimes we live to fast as it seems we don't even look around we don't even look around all of this time I didn't know I didn't know what to do so when the time came I made up my mind to take nothing and just go sometimes you just have to wait unitl everything settles down sometimes we live to fast as it seems we don't even look around we don't even look around
11.
AS we look around trying to find more we start to see its all been done before If we try to leave everyone behind We know that we will always find you're in the same place as before in the same place as before look at yourself in the mirror and it might become clearer you're in the same place as before
12.
Up in Arms 03:17
We run to the top of the hill and we just cant stop its not a race against the clock but we know we've got only one last shot the field and the tress and the grass turning green to red Im always listening but that's not what you said whats in your head? Im always listening and that's not what you said

Teach Me 04:48
Its the last day that im going to fight its the last way to make this right tie this blind fold across my eyes and catch my falls and I will try to walk like you and talk like you and fill your shoes cause I know How do you know if you've grown? how do you know if you've let go? TEACH ME THE WAYS OF THE SEA HOLD MY HAND DONT LEAVE

about

My ancestors lived on a Fjord in Norway...
This is my second full length album and its title is Fjords. In many ways I believe that it is very different from Corridors, but at the same time very much alike. The drive and influence behind the songs strongly relate to those of Corridors. These themes will never be erased from my music because they have influenced my life so much that I couldn't possibly stop writing about them. Fjords is about growth and change. Exploring the unexplored and seeking new vantage points. I think that each song stands for itself and has a separate message rather than contributing to an overall theme. I would try to tell you what each song is about and what actually inspired each one, but that is something I do not even completely know yet. I wrote all these songs as they came to me without stopping to question what they meant or why they existed in my head. So with that said, maybe you can help me with uncovering what they mean by listening to them and discovering for yourself an explanation of its own. With time and aging, perhaps each song will reveal itself.
